Our plan of action is recording a great album in order to have someone sample it first off, then if they like what they hear they can spread the word around about us.

What Is Your Favorite Track To Perform Live and Why?

My favorite song to play live on stage is All the reasons, when I was writing the lyrics for it, the feeling were so strong, John's riffs were on point and emotional. Hearing a riff like that just drives me to writing my best. When we play it live I can see the people in the audience reacting to the song with emotion.

What Has Been The Biggest Challenge In Your Career Thus far?

Our biggest challenge has been finding the right people to make what it is now Mojave Sol. Going through drummers and a few singers, we finally got to that point where everyone was perfect for the band. It's kind of like finding a needle in a hay stack.

What’s Your Typical Songwriting Process?

With this band the music came first, I (Steve) was the last to join, from there I would record the music live and put my headphones on and start coming up with melodies for the verses and chorus. Then we would arrange certain part to fit the lyrics.

What Did You Do Before You Started Making Music?

I think we all were into music at an early age so learning how to play, John is the only member in the band that has only been in one band which is Mojave Sol. He's also the founder, along with Marin. As for Joe (drummer) he was playing in different bands from 80's original rock to playing death metal for a few bands. Steve (vocals) started off as a guitarist for a few bands then became a drummer for a few bands as well.

Any Advice For Young People (Men or Women) That Want To Succeed In The Music World?

If you wanna succeed, you have to push yourself to keep getting your music out there. Performing live shows are very important if you wanna get your songs heard. It's better to make one fan at a show then none at all just staying home wishing for someone to hear your song. Never give up, even if you've been in band after band, if you have a passion for music no matter what you will always come back to it. We're all in our 40's so imagine how long it took us to find the right mix to make beautiful music.
